Travel video about destination Taiwan.
Taiwan, the Beautiful Island or, ‘Ilha Formosa’: a land of gods, spirits and temples - an island at the end of a rainbow! This south east Asian island is separated from the Chinese mainland by the Formosa Strait that at its narrowest point is a hundred and thirty kilometres wide. Taipei is a pulsating metropolis in the north of the island in which emperors’ treasures and chaotic traffic highlight both industrial strength and a Chinese way of life. In the old town district of Wan Hua is the city’s oldest and most precious Buddhist temple of Lungshan Szu, the Dragon Mountain Temple. The Sun Yi Sen Memorial Hall was built to commemorate the centenary of the founder of the Republic of China. His efforts brought about the abdication of the last emperor and the birth of the Republic Of China. The Confucius Temple is a place of contemplation and is a replica of the Temple Of Qu Fu, Qu Fu having been the home town of Confucius. This silent place is one of five temples in Taiwan dedicated to the great Chinese philosopher, Confucius, the founder of a religion that even today has many followers. The past importance of the former Taiwanese capital of Tainan is indicated by the city’s many temple complexes that contain an abundance of sacred works of art. Religion still plays a central role in the daily life of the people and the Tien Gon Temple is the most important temple in Taiwan. Taiwan is an island full of magical charm, fascinating works of art and breathtaking natural wonders. The legacy of Confucius mixed with the bright hope of the future. A symbiosis of industrialisation and Chinese tradition. The success of capitalism confirmed by the eternal words, “Made in Taiwan“!

Taipei is the glittering capital of Taiwan, and one of the hottest travel destinations in all of Asia. When you visit this thriving city, you’ll find collections of stunning futuristic buildings interspersed with ancient Chinese temples and traditions.
One of these temples, Longshan, is located in Wanhua, the city’s oldest neighborhood. This is where you come to find good fortune, good health, and spiritual advice of all sorts. Once you’ve attained the guidance and wisdom you may not have realized you sought, head to 228 Peace Park, where you will find the memorial to the 1949 uprisings that eventually led to Taiwan’s independence.
Don’t worry about getting around the city; the Taipei Rapid Transit System, or MRT, will take you just about anywhere you need to go. Hop on it to pay a visit to the National Palace Museum, where you’ll find a giant collection of Chinese art and artifacts. There’s over half a million pieces related to ancient Chinese royalty here, and you can spend days exploring them all.
To plan out your next move, make your way to Taipei 101. This is one of the world’s tallest buildings, and you can soar to the top for a breathtaking view of the city and pick out the next place you’ll visit. Do you see Elephant Mountain? It’s not far from the downtown area, and it’s a short climb to the top for another look at Taipei. Keep up with the nature theme and make your stop the Taipei Zoo, where you’ll meet the largest menagerie of animals in Asia.
Cap off a day of Taipei sightseeing and adventure at Shilin Night Market, where you can join the locals in finding that next great meal or landing a spectacular bargain.

On February 11 2014 CNN and other media reported -- Taiwan and China held their highest level talks for more than six decades - the first government-to-government contact since the pair's acrimonious split in 1949. In 1996, however, tensions between Beijing and Taipei were at an extraordinary high level.

For over three weeks, students have been physically occupying Taiwan's parliament building to demand democratic oversight of a trade pact with China and to call for a nationwide conference on constitutional reform. Known as the "Sunflower Movement," the urgency of their appeals has inspired broad public support across Taiwan, including a mass demonstration that drew crowds nearing half a million. Analysts point out that the backdrop to this movement is both a loss of confidence in the accountability of Taiwan's political institutions, and growing anxiety over China's influence on the social fabric of Taiwan's democratic society. Join us for first-hand accounts by students Wei Yang and Huang Yu-fen, two leading figures from the movement in Taiwan, and commentary by Xia Yeliang, former professor at Peiking University in China, and Yang Jianli, president of Initiatives for China.

Prior to joining Cato, Xia was a professor in the Department of Economics at Peking University, where he had taught since 2000.

TAIWAN - Video of commuters desperately fending off the knife wielding University student in Taiwan. Four people were killed and at least 21 others were inju.
Taiwanese media say three people were killed and several injured when a man stabbed people at random on a subway train in the capital, Taipei. The official C.

Six heavily armed inmates who held their warden and a guard hostage at a prison in Taiwan have committed suicide after a dramatic 14-hour siege.
The prisoners had broken into the prison's armory and seized a number of weapons, including rifles, handguns and more than 200 bullets, Justice Minister Lou Ying-shay told reporters Thursday.
Warden Chen Shih-chih and the head of prison guards, Wang Shih-tsang, were found safe, according to the island's justice ministry. Officials said the six men turned their guns on themselves.
The six inmates all worked in the sewing factory and would have had access to scissors, the ministry said. The inmates pretended to be sick and went to the prison infirmary. While there, they grabbed the keys from prison staff but were unable to break out of the prison. They smashed their way into a room storing the prison's weapons instead.
The facility's deputy warden, Lai Chen-jung, and head of guards, Wang, then offered themselves as hostages in exchange for the two held captive. The inmates then allowed Warden Chen to take the place of his deputy.
Claims of mistreatment
The inmates, who were serving a range of sentences for crimes including murder, complained about their sentences, mistreatment at the jail, and the recent release of former President Chen Shui-bian on medical grounds, according to Taiwanese media reports. He was serving a 20-year sentence for corruption.
One of the hostage takers, identified by Taiwanese media as Cheng Li-te, a member of a notorious criminal gang, issued a statement at around 11 p.m., which was read on Taiwanese television by Wu Hsien-chang, head of the Taiwan's Corrections Agency.
He then complained that their monthly allowance of NT$200 (around US$6) was not even enough to buy underwear, and that prison inmates were denied the same chance of medical parole as former President Chen.
The inmates demanded safe exit by car via a side door of the prison.
The prison itself was locked down and surrounded by armed police, according to Taiwanese media, while relatives of the inmates were brought in to to assist with negotiations to secure the release of the hostages.
Early on Thursday morning Deputy Justice Minister Chen Ming-tang reported that the hostages had been freed but that the six inmates had shot themselves.
Warden Chen described how the inmates treated the hostages well, and seemed in good spirits throughout the siege -- even toasting each other before shooting themselves. He said Cheng and one of the other prisoners made sure their co-conspirators were dead before they shot themselves in the head.
Chen Chun-hsiu, a senior prosecutor with the Kaohsiung District Prosecutors' Office, told reporters at a press conference Thursday that he spoke to Cheng during the standoff, and was told that he planned to end his own life. He added that he did not seem mentally stable.
He said Cheng and the other inmates decided to take hostages to break out of the prison because they feared spending the rest of their lives incarcerated otherwise.

Six inmates who seized weapons and took a warden and guard hostage at a prison in Kaohsiung, Taiwan have killed themselves after a 14-hour stand-off, say justice ministry officials.
The inmates had all been convicted of murder, drug-related offences, burglary and a range of other crimes.
They were protesting against their sentences, alleged mistreatment and unfair trials, Taiwanese media report.
Police surrounded the prison, but the hostages were all unharmed.
The six prisoners had feigned illness to lure two guards and take them hostage at about 16:30 local time on Wednesday (08:30 GMT), Taiwan's Central News Agency reported.
They forced the guards to take them to the prison's weapons cache where they stole four rifles, six handguns and 200 bullets.
Police surrounded the prison, one of the largest in Taiwan, and after negotiations, the prison warden and the head guard were exchanged for the hostages.
But officials rejected the prisoners' request for a getaway car and brought in their relatives and a well-known triad gang leader to talk them into surrendering. The prisoners at one point tried to leave the prison, but were met with police gunfire outside and retreated.
At around 03:00 on Thursday (19:00 GMT Wednesday), the prisoners released the head guard. About two hours after that, the prison warden walked out unharmed, according to CNA .
Deputy Justice Minister Chen Ming-tang said four of the prisoners had killed themselves first. The other two then fired at their bodies, before shooting themselves as well.
Police have not released video or other evidence to support their statement. No other injuries have been reported.
'Triad members'
The justice ministry said the ringleader of the group was Cheng Li-te, a member of United Bamboo, one of Taiwan's most powerful Triad organised crime gangs.
Among their complaints were that wages earned for work in the prison were too low - about $6 (£4) a month - so they had to rely on family support, putting relatives in financial difficulty.
In a message delivered by officials, Cheng also complained that former Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian - jailed for 20 years for money laundering and accepting bribes - had recently been given medical parole,
The BBC's Cindy Sui in Taipei says that Taiwan's prison system has seen 18% more inmates in the past decade as drug offenses and convictions rise. Overcrowding is a serious problem because the government and society do not want to allocate more money to build more prisons.
Security can be lax as prisoners are allowed to do work in the prison's bakeries and other facilities, says our correspondent.
Taiwan's President Ma Ying-Jeou has since pledged reform.
"This situation shows that there are holes in the prison administration system... I have asked the justice ministry to put various agencies on high alert, fully stabilise the situation, and do an in-depth review of the prison system," he was quoted as saying on television network TVBS.

The incident at the prison in the southern city of Kaohsiung unfolded at around 4 p.m. local time on Wednesday when the men grabbed a guard and member of the prison staff, the justice ministry told CNN.
The six inmates all worked in the sewing factory and would have had access to scissors, the ministry said. The inmates pretended to be sick and went to the prison infirmary. While there, they grabbed the keys from prison staff but were unable to break out of the prison. They smashed their way into a room storing the prison's weapons instead.
The facility's deputy warden, Lai Chen-jung, and head of guards, Wang, then offered themselves as hostages in exchange for the two held captive. The inmates then allowed Warden Chen to take the place of his deputy.
Claims of mistreatment
The inmates, who were serving a range of sentences for crimes including murder, complained about their sentences, mistreatment at the jail, and the recent release of former President Chen Shui-bian on medical grounds, according to Taiwanese media reports. He was serving a 20-year sentence for corruption.
One of the hostage takers, identified by Taiwanese media as Cheng Li-te, a member of a notorious criminal gang, issued a statement at around 11 p.m., which was read on Taiwanese television by Wu Hsien-chang, head of the country's Corrections Agency.

Six inmates at a prison in southern Taiwan have taken the warden and head prison guard hostage in an escape attempt.
According to the official Central News Agency, a scuffle reportedly broke out between two groups of prisoners at Daliao Prison in Kaohsiung county on Wednesday afternoon. Witnesses said two corrections officers were taken hostage by prisoners armed with scissors.
The prisoners then took the hostages to the armoury and seized four T65K2 rifles and 177 rifle bullets, and six handguns and 46 handgun bullets.
The prisoners called a Taiwanese media agency and told it to relay their demand for two getaway cars to the authorities.
Among the six inmates, who are mostly serving sentences for drug possession and robbery, is Cheng Li-teh, a leader of a local triad known as the Bamboo Union.
The inmates originally captured head guard Wang Shih-tsang and Deputy Warden Lai Chen-jung. Warden Chen Shih-chih volunteered to take Lai's place, and Lai was freed. Negotiations are still underway.

Taiwan To Mourn Plane Crash Victims
Taiwan to mourn plane crash victims
Taiwan was to hold a day of mourning on Tuesday for victims of the TransAsia Airways crash last week, officials said.
“We've notified all government agencies across the country to fly the national flag at half-mast tomorrow to mourn for the victims,” Cabinet spokesman Sun Lih-chyun told reporters on Monday.
Tuesday marked the seventh day since the Flight GE235 crashed into the Keelung river shortly after takeoff from Taipei's Songshan Airport with 58 people on board.
A taxi driver and passenger were also injured when the plane clipped a bridge before hitting the water.
Forty people were confirmed dead by Monday, with 15 survivors.

BREAKING NEWS UPDATE: Dramatic new images of that plane crash in Taipei, just in to Eyewitness News.
Taiwanese television is showing images of rescuers plucking survivors out of a nearby river. Eight people are believed to have been killed and the plane's fuselage remains partially submerged. There were 58 people on board.
New images and video of the terrifying crash coming up tonight at 11p from ABC7 Eyewitness News. abc7.la/1yELs7O
anyone can make any comment about anything they want, but b4 doing that, just think about the families of the ppl who died, and know this, the plane crashing into the river was the pilot's choice over crashing into a building, minimizing the casualties
Samuel, just a friendly suggestion, maybe you should just admit your comment was in incredible bad taste and delete the whole thing. As for your whole argument on "Asia should just stick with land and water and stay away from the airline industry" because of the stats in past year, do yourself a favor, take a few hours to study the statistics in Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archives. B3A is an organization that was established in Geneva in 1990 for the purpose to deal with all information related to aviation accidentology. Take your time, read it thoroughly, perhaps you will be surprised which continent should stick with land and water and stay away from the airline industry.
Also, your argument was based on a few logical fallacies such as fallacy of the single causewhile crashes may have many causes but you chose being Asian or of Asia as a single cause and hasty generalizationreaching an inductive generalization based on insufficient evidence—essentially making a hasty conclusion without considering all of the variables. It may be true there are more Asian airline crashes in past year, but it is also true that there are more flights by Asian airlines and far more people in Asia than rest of the world. Just because New York has more number of total crimes committed does not make the city has higher crime rate than Anaheim or Oakland. I mean, sure, we can pick 2014 and find there were 6 crashes out of 8 major ones involved Asian airlines, but if we pick another year, say 2012, Asia only accounted for 6 out of 13 major crashes, and in 2013, only 5 out of 12. And Asia is quite a big continent with many people and many airlines.
Lastly, air crashes are tragic no matter what or who caused them to happen, proper way to react is perhaps words of sympathy, prayers or solemn silence, last thing any one should do is making this an offensive statement of hasty generalization toward another ethnicity.
Annnd you can't spell, OBVIOUSLY
So is this means you are finally realizing that your brain does not function correctly and now you are saying some unwise things?
Gabi Gabriela yes. I saw this news yesterday. There is not too far to my office. The captain is a hero. I feel sorry for the people who hurt and died in this accident. Rest in peace. God bless Taiwan!

Pilot's Body Found Still Clutching Joystick of Crashed Taiwan Plane

Pilot's Body Found Still Clutching Joystick of Crashed Taiwan Plane
The pilot of a doomed TransAsia plane, hailed as a hero for his actions in the final moments before a crash that killed 31 people, was still holding the joystick in the plane's cockpit when his body was found, media reported on Friday.
The pilot, identified by TransAsia as 42-year-old Liao Chien-tsung, has been praised by Taipei's mayor for steering the plane between apartment blocks and commercial buildings before ditching the stalled aircraft in a river.
TransAsia Flight GE235 was carrying 58 passengers and crew when it lurched nose-up between buildings, clipped an overpass and a taxi with one of its wings and then crashed upside down into a shallow river after taking off on Wednesday.
The bodies of Liao and his co-pilot were retrieved from the almost-new turboprop ATR 72-600's cockpit still clutching the joystick, with their legs badly broken, investigators said.
"They were still trying to save this aircraft until the last minute," Taiwanese media quoted unidentified prosecutors involved in the crash investigation as saying.
Media quoted city officials as saying the death toll would have been much worse if the plane had crashed into any of the buildings it narrowly missed.
Fifteen people survived but 12 remain missing. Taiwan aviation officials have said they have not given up hope of finding them.
The voice and data recorders from the plane have been recovered and a more conclusive picture of the plane's final moments will emerge when information from them is released.
Media reported that some of the information could be released later on Friday.
The last communication from one of the pilots was "Mayday Mayday engine flameout", according to an air traffic control recording on liveatc.net.
A flameout can occur when the fuel supply to an engine is interrupted or when there is faulty combustion, but twin-engined aircraft can usually keep flying with one engine. The plane was powered by two Pratt & Whitney PW127M engines. Pratt & Whitney is part of United Technologies.
The plane took off from Taipei's downtown Songshan airport and was bound for the Taiwan island of Kinmen. Among those on board were 31 tourists from China, mainly from the southwestern city of Xiamen.
Taiwan's aviation regulator has ordered TransAsia and Uni Air, a subsidiary of EVA Airways Corp 2618.TW, to conduct engine and fuel system checks on the remaining 22 ATR aircraft they still operate.

TransAsia GE235: Taiwan crash plane 'lost engine power'

published:06 Feb 2015

views:8

Black box data from the TransAsia Airlines turbo-prop plane that crashed in Taiwan has revealed that power was cut to both engines, investigators say.
Taiwan's Aviation Safety Council said the engines failed to produce enough thrust for two minutes after take-off.
Data suggest that the flight crew tried to stop and restart one of the engines, without success.
Flight GE235 carried 58 passengers and crew, at least 35 of whom died when the plane crashed into a river.
Fifteen people survived the crash.
According to investigators at a briefing in Taipei, the plane ran into trouble just 37 seconds after taking off from Taipei's Songshan airport.
Thomas Wang, director of the Aviation Safety Council, said the pilot announced a "flame-out", which can occur when the fuel supply to the engine is interrupted or when there is faulty combustion.
However, Mr Wang said there was in fact no flame-out, and the right-hand engine had actually shifted into idle mode without the oil pressure having changed.
"The plane flashed a flame-out signal for one of the two engines at 10:53:28 when the plane climbed to an altitude of 1,200ft, triggering a warning," AFP news agency quoted Mr Wang as saying.
Then the other [left] engine was shut down manually. The pilot tried to restart the engines but to no avail.
"That means that during the flight's final moments, neither engine had any thrust. We heard 'Mayday' at 10:54:35," he added.
The flight, which had been bound for Taiwan's Kinmen Island, crashed into the Keelung River just 72 seconds later.
The plane, an ATR 72-600, is able to fly with just one functioning engine. Mr Wang said it was not clear why the left engine had been shut down.
Thousands of rescue workers have been scouring the river looking for bodies, says the BBC's Cindy Sui
Preliminary findings
A more substantial report into the crash will be released within the next 30 days, ahead of the publication of a final report in the next three to six months.
The pilot, Liao Chien-tsung, has been praised by Taipei's mayor for managing to steer the plane away from apartment blocks and commercial buildings before it came down.
Taiwanese Vice President Wu Den-yih also paid tribute the 42-year-old pilot, saying he had "meticulously grasped" the flight controls in the plane's last few seconds in the air, according to the Associated Press news agency.
"In the final moments he still wanted to control the plane to avoid harming residents in the housing communities," he was quoted as saying.
Crash investigators told Taiwanese media that Mr Liao's hands were still on the plane's controls when his body was found, Reuters reported.
Both the pilot and co-pilot were found dead in the cockpit with their legs badly broken, according to local media reports.
Taiwan's aviation regulator has ordered thorough engine and fuel system checks on the remaining 22 ATR-manufactured aircraft currently in active service on the island.
The BBC's Cindy Sui in Taipei said search and rescue teams had been focussing their efforts downstream of the crash site, and are carrying out operations along a 15-kilometre (9-mile) stretch of the river.
The main parts of the plane, which had been submerged, have been retrieved from the water, and divers are now attempting to locate the bodies of other victims.
Search officials said on Thursday that it was extremely unlikely that any additional survivors would be found, and said that retrieval efforts had been severely hampered by poor visibility in the murky water.
